But our favourite mocks the United song “This is How It Feels to be City” - based on the Inspiral Carpets hit - which has the punchline “This is how it feels to be small, This is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all”. It's a bit dated now.

And in 2011 City fans changed the words to “This is what it feels to be City, this is what it feels to be small, You sign Phil Jones and we sign Kun Aguero, Kun Aguero.”

11. Having twins in the team can be a bit confusing, especially when they are not up to much and you are not sure you are giving stick to the right man.

Can't tell which is which ... the Da Silvas

That came through in United's chant for Brazilian boys Rafael and Fabio: “Viva Da Silva, Viva Da Silva, When they're on the pitch, can't tell which is which, Viva Da Silva”

10. FC United fans have more than their fair share of poets, thespians and musicians in their ranks, so it is no surprise that their songs tend to be a bit intellectual at times.

So when they travelled to darkest Lancashire to play Nelson on the 200 anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar they came up with “Nelson sing, I don't know why, With only one arm, and only one eye”

FC United fans have a rich repertoire of songs

And when they faced Darwen a fortnight later, the lyrics became “Darwen sing, I don't know why, 'Cos evolution has passed them by”.

9. Even the Cockneys have been known to produce the odd laugh-out-loud chant.

We like Fulham's dubious tribute to Bobby Zamora to the old Dean Martin song “That's Amore”: “When the ball hits your head, and you're sat in Row Zed, that's Zamora”.

8. And Liverpool fans came up with a similarly cruel – but equally funny – destruction of their hopeless left back Djimi Traore, to the tune of Michael Jackson's “Blame It On the Boogie”.

He just can't control his feet ... Djimi Traore

“Don't blame it on the Hamann, Don't blame it on the Biscan, Don't blame it on the Finnan, Blame it on Traore … he just can't, he just can't, he just can't control his feet.”

7. The lower leagues also have plenty of terrace wits – and when Brentford signed Sam Sodje, sibling to ex-Bury legend Efe Sodje, it was manna from heaven.
